Sssoooo what are the top 10 cities to avoid?

1.  Dallas / Fort Worth. One giant freeway mess in most places. Suddenly you are on surface roads with everything bumper to bumper. Endless construction. 9286 square miles. I looked it up.

It's like it was designed solely for soccer moms to get their SUVs to big box stores.

Another reason to never visit Vegas.

I know just how those visitors feel about their room invasions.  Here in AL if you are a tenant your landlord can enter your home at any time.  All they have to do is provide a reason.  If they say something like ....

Seems authority will always jump on any pretext to increase their ... authority.

Blanch has the answer- If they're problems, move on, if you can.
Rather hard for most of us to build our own apartment, or country LoL

I spend a lot of time downtown, main and law library, and because of the anti-social behavior I do wonder if people who can will abandon the city-
leaving only those who can't.
Perhaps that's what occurred in Detroit?

Tenants should change the locks, or at least remove the locks and have them re-keyed.  With a guard left behind, of course.  People need to stop thinking that everyone else should do the work.

I don't think it's a tenants job to provide their own locks, unless that was the agreement prior to moving in.  At any rate it was in the lease that you're not allowed to change the locks because they have a right to enter your apartment (under certain conditions) and need a key to do so.  

And maybe he did change them, there are other ways to break into an apartment and picking a lock isn't that hard a skill to learn.  

And, I most definitely do not fall into the category of "thinking everyone else should do the work"  I'd both rather and do most everything myself.

When I was doing rental maintenance, I would use a pair of channel locks to rip off the knob and used a screwdriver to open the door. 

Locks are to keep honest people honest.

pops always said "locks keep honest people out."

Growing up my Dad did all the carpets for a guy who owned several large apartment buildings and dozens of multi families.  They'd use very cheap rugs and replace them after every tenant.  Long story short, tenants quite often did change their locks and our master key often didn't work.  I got pretty skilled at learning how to get into locked places with no key and it's surprisingly a lot easier than most people think. Most the time leaving no evidence or damage i'd done so other than a few scratches on a door jamb that was going to be re-painted anyways.
